Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a process for the production of very pure S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine by reacting L-cystine in liquid ammonia with metallic sodium to form the disodium salt of L-cysteine, vaporizing the ammonia, reacting the disodium salt of L-cysteine with an aqueous solution of chloracetic acid and precipitating the S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine formed by acidifying the reaction mixture.
  • SCC S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine
  • the process of the invention is characterized by the reaction of the disodium salt of L-cysteine with an aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid taking place in the presence of 0.1 to 10 weight percent, based on the chloroacetic acid of a reducing agent.
  • the reducing agent is used in an amount of 1 to 5 weight percent based on the weight of chloroacetic acid employed.
  • alkali salts of oxygen containing acids of sulfur at a lower stage of oxidation e.g., the corresponding dithionites, sulfoxylates or pyrosulfites and formic acid.
  • alkali salts are sodium dithionite, potassium dithionite, sodium pyrosulfite and potassium pyrosulfite.
  • sodium bisulfite and potassium bisulfite for example.
  • the reaction of L-cystine in liquid ammonia with metallic sodium suitably takes place at a temperature from -60° to +20° C. Especially advantageous are temperatures from -5° to +10° C., on the one hand to save cold energy and on the other to avoid too high pressures.
  • the ammonia is vaporized, suitably at normal pressure (i.e., atmospheric pressure) and can be recovered for renewed use.
  • the disodium salt of L-cysteine remaining behind is taken up in water and reacted with an aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid which simultaneously contains the reducing agent.
  • the reaction takes place suitably at a temperature of +20° to 100° C., preferably at a temperature of 30° to 50° C.
  • the reaction generally requires a time of about one hour.
  • To produce higher yields of SCC it is advantageous to use the chloroacetic acid in a molar excess of about 15 to 25%.
  • the concentration of chloroacetic acid in water is not critical, but usually is between 100 and 600 grams/liter.
  • reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and is adjusted with a mineral acid, for example hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 2.5 to 3.0.
  • a mineral acid for example hydrochloric acid
  • suitable acids include hydrobromic acid and sulfuric acid.
  • the process can comprise, consist essentially of or consist of the steps set forth using the recited materials.
  • the aqueous solution of the disodium salt of L-cysteine obtained is then reacted at 20° to 30° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere in the course of 30 minutes with stirring with a solution of 104 grams of chloroacetic acid (1.1 moles) and 4 grams of sodium pyrosulfite in 200 ml of water. It is also allowed to post react for 15 minutes at 20° C., the solution clarified over activated carbon and the filtrate treated with 90 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid to a pH of 2.5. Thereby the S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine precipitates out in crystalline form. The product is filtered off with suction, well stirred in 500 ml of water, again filtered with suction and dried in a vacuum at 70° C.
